Guardian: “Summary executions, torture and looting in Trostiantes”
Evidence of summary executions, torture, and looting has been verified by Guardian reporters in Trostianets, an attractive and historic resort town 20 miles from the Russian-Ukrainian border in the Sumy region, which Russian forces occupied for a month. What presents itself now is a panorama of tattered tanks, corpses of howitzers, hundreds of boxes of ammunition, grenade shells and Grad rockets fired by the Russians from Trostiants in neighboring towns. Destroyed buildings, pro-Russia slogans on the walls and insults against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Thirty days after their arrival, in the wake of the Ukrainian counterattack, Russian soldiers left the city and behind them a convoy of tanks and trucks full of loot and stolen vehicles was stained with Z-marks, a symbol of the invasion force. It was too early to make a reliable estimate of the number of civilians killed: “Surely more than 50, but probably not hundreds,” said Yuri Bova, the mayor of Trostianets. The mayor said that when the invasion began, there was no time to decide what to do: “Trying to fight against tanks with a few guns meant certain death, so we made the decision to become partisan.” Many have left their homes to flee to neighboring villages.
